Getting Started with QGIS: An Established Community-Supported Software for Visualizing and Analyzing Spatial Data in 2D & 3D
Speaker: Diane Fritz, PhD, Geospatial Services Specialist
About the talk
QGIS is a free and open source software (FOSS) that is extremely powerful for working with spatial data in both 2D and 3D in a variety of disciplines. During this hour, I will give a high-level overview of QGIS’s many capabilities, introduce the basics of spatial data structures & the QGIS GUI, go over expanding functionality with plugins, and provide resources for furthering your understanding of working with spatial data.
